MOM-OF-SIX's Blogs

It was an interesting weekend, to say the least. Friday was an okay evening at work. Saturday was kind of weird. Our computer system got an "update" that took six hours. Since we knew about it ahead of time, we were pretty organized. Our te... Read more

Thank you everyone for your concerns about my headaches. I have a history of migraines, usually only when I'm pregnant (nope, not pregnant now). These headaches lately have been different, not full blown migraines, no aura. I keep a log of my... Read more

We finally got all the bikes repaired and in working order on Friday. Loaded them up in our trailer and headed out Saturday. We first went to Harlan for Stevie's (8y/o) soccer game. The weather was kind of weird all day. It was warm when we... Read more

1. Stay withing my carb range: I've done really well with this goal, only going over once so far this month. That one time was due to recovering from a migraine and being on the road. It's hard to eat a salad on the road, and the wraps from ... Read more

My husband seems like a totally different person since he took his certification test two weeks ago. Before the test, he was stressed out, mean at times, ate horribly, and had no time for anything but studying. Now, he's the sweet, caring man ... Read more

Patrick is finally getting back to his old self. He's off the nebulizer and back on his maintenance inhaler at a slightly higher dose. It's great to see him back to normal. Yesterday was his birthday. He's a big 12 year old now. I made his ... Read more

Well, I made it through this incredibly busy weekend! I had a slight meltdown when our company was coming on Saturday morning and I was starting to cook. Brian was busy with a man project and I wanted him to help me. I blew up a little, but q... Read more

I thought I'd post now since I'm about to get too busy to do much on SparkPeople this weekend. I'll have to remember to get my login points. I've got a good streak going on that.
Yesterday was a tough day. A headache hit in the middle ... Read more

Brian's test is finally over!! We drove down to Kansas City early (way too early) Saturday morning. Thankfully, his sister Cathy came along. His test took six hours, so we girls went shopping. Cathy knows KC a lot better than me and I really... Read more

Earlier this week, I proudly attended the Southwestern Iowa Middle School Honors Choir concert. My oldest, Mikey, was selected to participate. I had no idea what to expect as I drove to Treynor for the event. I quickly realized what a big dea... Read more

Wow, it's been almost a week since I've blogged. I'll blame my husband for that. He's on the good computer leaving me on the slow laptop. He's been home studying for a certification test on Saturday. This throws my routine off a bit, but I'm... Read more

Well, it's been a busy week. Patrick is finally back in school after missing 10 days. He's a little freaked out about all the work he has to make up. I suggested to the school they let him work on it during PE since he can't participate for a... Read more

Wow! What a difference in my mood with the sun shining! Of course the migraine earlier this week, and Patrick's cough (10 days now) brought my mood down some anyway. I went for a walk yesterday for 35 minutes and did well. The hills in my ar... Read more
